maps russia ukraine war map batch one the opening moves in crimea russia ukraine war map batch two russia reestablishing new russia the russia ukraine war has reached the world of cartoon cartographers as did the french islamst war russia georgia war and the libyan war cartoon and humorous maps of the ukrainian of conflict have been floating around on the internet for a while but the canadian staff at nato and the russian mission to nato shot off the first major argument about the war via cartoonish maps canada reminded russia that ukraine is not part of russia russia responded in kind with a map showing their claim to the crimean peninsula the map ignores canada s point about moscow s invasion of eastern ukraine and interestingly enough fails to give full independence status to russia s two client states of abkhazia and south ossetia a twitter user retorted with a hilarious example of how social media exchanges would have been done in 1938 39 if twitter had existed in 38

batch two russia reestablishing new russia russia ukraine war map batch one the opening moves in crimea the main question is if russia intends to a link up with the areas currently held by the federation of novorussiya b claim all lost territory of the people s republics or c reclaim all the old new russia region image from the ukrainian government the russian federation has invaded ukraine again in the first invasion russia sought to annex the crimean peninsula now russia is attempting to aid in the establishment of pro moscow people s republics which would act as unrecognized mini transnistrias designed to keep ukraine unstable for decades to come live ua map has a daily collection of maps and geo located news stories the strong point of this website is that one can see the donetsk people s republic grow and be practically destroyed only to be rescued by the russian invasion while there are no official maps of what the federal state of novorussiya and therefore moscow claim the official website of the federation feature maps which show all of russian speaking ukraine as part of the republic with one map oddly showing annexed crimea as part of the federation posted

mississippi if it joined the united states kind of sort of the british spectator magazine has an interesting article which claims the united kingdom would be the second poorest state in the union with mississippi being the poorest the author uses gross domestic product per capita and purchasing power parity to back up this claim so is this claim true by its own system yes however this is where lies dang lies and statistics come to haunt us under this system alaska and wyoming come out as the richest states in the union why because there are less people in the state cost of living is relatively low and there are a few very rich people there which skew the average while the theory is true with gdp and ppp ask yourself is wyoming better off economically than the united kingdom the bbc could probably hold a doctor who fundraiser and buy out both these two states posted by catholicgauze at 7 49 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday august 20 2014 the islamic state and nothing else back in june i wrote how the al qaeda breakaway group rampaging throughout iraq and syria should be referred to in english as the islamic state of iraq and the levant isil and not isis now it is time to update that post the group should now be referred to the literal translation of الدولة الإسلامية islamic state the organization has established a political theocratic state based on the mohammad era war caliphate model it also now claims worldwide control of all muslims it no longer considers itself limited to iraq and the levant just as we recognized the name change from al qaeda in iraq to the islamic state of iraq to the islamic state of iraq and the levant we should recognize this name change no more aqi no more isi no more isil isis we are at war with the islamic state the self proclaimed caliphate if we do not consider their religious angle seriously we will fail in countering them on a cultural level posted by catholicgauze at

california resident and rising senior at monta vista high school took the top spot at the 11th international geography olympiad held in krakow poland from august 11 to august 18 mullen finished atop

students receive gold medals the top 1 4 receive silver and the top 1 2 receive bronze james achievement is a tremendous honor for an american student on the world stage his triumph will encourage other students who are interested in the study of geography throughout the usa said david madden co coach of the american team and president of the united states geography olympiad april scott mullen s principal at monta vista high school added monta vista high school is extremely proud of james accomplishment he has shown great focus and determination to reach this level of knowledge and he is most deserving of this award congratulations to james mullen and his teammates were chosen from around 1 000 competitors nationwide in the us geography olympiad the national qualifying competition for the event which is sponsored by publisher houghton mifflin harcourt and the television network history the two sponsors also helped underwrite the expenses for the american students to attend the olympiad in krakow after 94 separate regional qualifying competitions the top students traveled to arlington virginia in april to compete in the national championship with the top four finishers being chosen to represent the usa in krakow mullen finished fourth in arlington at the 2014 us national championships and will need to qualify there again in 2015 to have a chance to defend his title at the 2015 international geography olympiad which will be held in russia posted by catholicgauze at 8 25 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday august 10 2014 hell on mount sinjar view larger map get directions view bird s eye northwestern iraq is actually a fairly multicultural place the groups which call this dry desert area home are assyrians these christians are descendants of the great assyrian empire which destroyed the kingdom of israel today the vast majority of these christians are divided between the chalcedon catholic church and the assyrian church of the east the chalcedon church has recently surpassed the church of the east in size and both churches are working towards reunion under the pope of rome turkmen these ethnic turks are the southern kin of the turks of turkey unlike turkey s turks these turkmen are divided between shia and sunni islam however in part due to their living in arab lands there tends to be little to no tension between the shia and sunni turkmen yezidi these kurdish people follow a religion which combines islam zoroastrianism and gnosticism they quite literally are worshippers of satan however in their cosmology satan is the greatest of god s angels and was given control of the world additionally there are sunni arabs and sunni kurds now somewhere between 40 000 and 100 000 of these assyrians turkmen yezidi arabs and kurds have fled to the top of mount sinjar a ridge 60 miles 100 kilometers long in northwestern iraq this mountain serves as a hiding spot from the army of the islamic state the mountain serves as a life bridge for the area around it as it allows rainwater to collect then stream down into wadis thus offering water for the region however unless it rains there is little water available and no crops can be grown on the mountain the life giver for the region and provider of shelter from the islamic state is actually a slow killer this is why water and food deliveries
